Steve took Doris and the kids home.
It's great to be home again. I'm so tired, Steve. Doris said, smiling at him.
Rest, Mom. I'll take care of the kids.
I'll do it, son. I'm going to the bedroom.
Okay, Mom.
Daddy, did you see my doll? Annye asked.
Yes, daughter. Your mother has put it on your bed, but before you play, you'll shower.
Let me take care of her, Steve. Doris said.
Okay. Go with your grandmother, Annye.
Come, my dear! Said Doris, holding Annye's hand.
James, go and have a shower too.
Yes Dad. I'm on my way. James said, going to his room.
Dad, did Lizzie call to ask for me? Jimmy asked Steve.
No, Jimmy. In fact, she doesn't even know what happened to you. Me and your mother were looking for you and your brothers incessantly. We didn't have time to call Lizzie.
Ok. Jimmy replied, disappointed.
But call her, tell her what happened. Steve said, seeing that he was sad because she didn't call.
I'll call. Jimmy said, going into the bedroom.
Wait, Jimmy!
What dad?
I'm going to the hospital tomorrow morning. I want your mother to see one of you three when she wakes up. You want to go with me?
Of course, dad! I'm missing my mom.
Great, son. Don't forget to bathe. I want everyone here at dinnertime.
Steve got a call from Danny.
Steve, we questioned him, and he gave us the name of all the accomplices. We caught them when they were trying to escape the island.
Great, Danny. Good work, my friend. Now I can rest easy. Thank you. Steve said, relieved.
How are the kids, Steve?
They're all right, Danny. I thought they would be very traumatized, but they are reacting well. I think the fact that my mother was with them minimized the trauma. They're seeing the grandmother as a hero.
I'm glad they're all right, Steve.
Thank you, Danny. Now I'm missing my half. I'm incomplete without her. I hope to bring her home tomorrow.
Catherine? Danny asked.
Of course, who else would it be? Steve said.
See you tomorrow? Danny asked.
I don't know, Danny. I think I'm going to want to spend the day with my family.
Ok. Danny answered.
Bye, buddy! And thanks again.
Jimmy called Lizzie and told her everything that had happened.
Wow, Jimmy! That was awful! I didn't know. I thought you didn't call me because you didn't want to talk to me. I thought maybe you didn't want to dance with me at the party anymore, and you didn't have the balls to tell me.
Of course I'll dance with you, Lizzie. Didn't I promise you?
Yes, you did.
If I promised, I'll keep it. And we need to train the dance. My mother is teaching me. Jimmy said.
Can she teach me too, Jimmy?
Of course, Lizzie. I'll talk to her tomorrow, but I'm sure she'll teach you.
You have a lot of school work to do, Jimmy. I'll give you all the stuff later.
All right, Lizzie. Thank you.
You're welcome, Jimmy. I'm glad you and James and Annye and your grandmother are well.
Thank you, Lizzie. I'll call you again tomorrow. Goodbye!
Bye, Jimmy!
Jimmy finished the call, and James ran into the room.
Jimmy, Dad's calling you for dinner. The food he ordered has arrived and looks very good!
I'm coming, James. Thank you.
They dined and chatted excitedly, but Steve was constantly looking at the empty chair beside him. He missed her. He had left her in the hospital a few hours ago, but they were one heart, soul mates.
Doris noticed this, and touched his hand.
I'm sure she'll come home tomorrow, Steve.
I know she'll come, Mom. But I miss her.
I know. The feeling between the two of you is so beautiful. Said Dóris.
Thanks, mom. Steve said, smiling.
The next day, Steve got up early, and woke Jimmy to go to the hospital with him.
Catherine was still asleep when they arrived at the hospital.
Steve and Jimmy approached her, and Jimmy called softly.
Mom! Mom!
Catherine opened her eyes and looked at Steve, who was on his right side.
She remembered what had happened.
Steve, I heard Jimmy call me. She said, crying.
But I really called you, Mom. Jimmy said.
Catherine looked away.
Jimmy?
Hi Mom.
Catherine sat down and took Jimmy's face in both hands.
Jimmy, are you okay, son?
I'm fine, Mom. Jimmy said, hugging her.
I thought I'd lost you, my son. Catherine hugged him tightly.
I also thought I'd never see you and Dad again. Jimmy said, thrilled.
What about James? What about Annye? Catherine looked around, looking for them.
They're well, and are at home with Doris. Me and Jimmy came to get you.
How did you find them? Catherine asked Steve.
We'll talk about it later, my love. Now I just want to get you out of here. Steve said, kissing her.
Yes, let's go. Catherine said, trying to remove the serum equipment that was connected to her.
No, Cath! We have to wait for the doctor to come and see you! Steve said.
I'm fine, Steve. I just want to go home and see the kids. We can't leave them alone anymore.
They're no longer in danger, Cath. Danny and the team arrested all involved in the kidnapping.
Listen to Daddy, Mom! Let's wait for the doctor. Please! Jimmy said, worred.
Catherine tried to get up and went dizzy.
She sat down again.
All right, I'll wait for the doctor. She said.
After Catherine being released by the doctor, Steve and Jimmy took her home.
Catherine found Doris serving breakfast for the children.
Annye saw Catherine entering the house and ran to her mother.
Mommy!
Hey, my love! I missed you so much! I love you so much! Catherine said, hugging her.
I missed you too, Mommy.
What about you, son? Not coming to hug Mom? Catherine asked James.
Of course, Mom!
James got up and hugged her too.
I love you too, James! I missed you so much, son! Catherine said kissing his head.
Catherine went to Doris, and hugged her.
Thank you, Doris. Thank you for protecting my children.
They are my grandchildren. How could I not protect them?
Grandma was awesome! She kicked the thug and knocked over his gun for Jimmy to catch, and Jimmy shot. James said excitedly.
What? Jimmy shot? Catherine looked at Steve.
Steve scratched his head.
What a big tongue, James! Did you have to say that? Steve said to boy.
Steve, did you teach him to shoot? I asked you not to do this!
Sorry, Cath. But it was useful, wasn't it? Steve said.
Don't worry, Mom. I don't intend to do it again. Jimmy said.
I'm thinking of renting a place for myself. Doris said to Catherine and Steve.
But why, Mother? Aren't you happy here? Steve asked.
Yes son. I'm happy. But I was afraid that the kidnapping was my fault, I thought the kidnappers were people from my past. And I don't want to bother you either. I tried to stay with Mary and I bothered her.
We all have this fear, Doris. I also have a past. Don't go away. Me, Steve and the kids love you, and you don't bother us.
We can build another room, Mom. We want you with us. Steve said.
It's all right. If I'm not bothering you guys, or the kids, I'll stay. Said Doris, with tears in her eyes.
Steve got up and hugged her.
Come here, Catherine! Join us. Steve said.
Catherine joined them.
I love you both! Doris said, thrilled.
At the end of the day, Steve and Catherine were in the bedroom, lying down.
Catherine rested her head on Steve's chest, and he was stroking her head.
Thank you for asking my mother to stay here with us.
I told you once that I would take care of her as if she were my mother, and I'll keep that.
You know what I realized last night? He asked her.
No. What is it?
I can't live even a few hours without you. This house, this bedroom, has no life without you. Even with all the noise children make, you're the soul of this house. Nothing makes sense without you. I wonder what my life and Jimmy's life would be like if we hadn't given a chance for our love.
Catherine looked at him and smiled.
I already knew that I was all this! But it's good to hear you talk. She said.
You knew, huh? Steve said, smiling.
Come here! Catherine said, kissing him with all love and affection.
